Towards efficient and long-lasting EV chargers - Ecodesign requirements for electric

1 Mar 2024

Background: The 2021 study The European Commission’s initial study from for other electrified modes such as e-bikes and 2021 identified essential elements to improve the e-scooters should also be assessed due to the energy efficiency of charging stations, such as the large growth of these markets. [...] Since the electrification of heavy-duty the need to include smart charging standards vehicles is expected to take off3,using roughly the in EV charging equipment, and ways to ensure same charging technology (DC fast charging), developments of these standards do not render ecodesign requirements should apply to chargers the infrastructure obsolete before the end of their of all electrified road tra. [...] Furthermore, the projections of as the (standby) energy consumption of the EV EV sales made in the Commission’s 2021 study charger’s control systems. [...] Given the dynamic nature of documentation should be readily available the EV charger market, we anticipate that to operate the chargers and facilitate the products deployed today will likely be integration of various charger components, outdated and replaced before reaching their such as structural elements and power expected end-of-life. [...] standards enable communication between the EV and the charging station, the charging station It is important that the latest standards are and the back-end system, the EV charging station implemented in charging infrastructure to provide and an energy management system.
